Back a work this week as evidenced by the much shorter blog....I am planning on nerd-caving up this weekend and just doing little things...and petting my dogs....

Our kitchen counters are currently loaded down with cucumbers, Iraqi tomatoes, and squash---JoJo's pickles turned out excellent....and we received a bit of rain this week.....


My miles per gallon commute average, this week was 50.5....I'm not paying for a single canape' at Dick Cheney's Mitt Romney love-a-thon at his Wyoming home this weekend out of my gasoline bill.


Missed a second victory against the 1% by thiiiiissss much....

My little cigar experiment is a success! I will be driving on with this through retirement. 


I still working on shortwave radio with zero success.....

I have decided to express art through scale modeling. This past time fulfills both the watchmaker and artist needs of mine which are calming to me when i am detail working on an item..
My first project (which is in route) is a 1/35th scale kit of a 1920 pattern British, Rolls Royce armored car manufactured by Roden. I also ordered a set of 1/35th British military figures as crew members. This vehicle is very steampunk like in it's design and appearance which added to my desire to build and display it. 
A excellent by-product of this pursuit is the fascinating study of camouflage, outfitting and use of the chosen subject through historical documents and  photographs. I have a feeling I am going to enjoy this pursuit. I will provide photographs as best, i can of the finished product. 

A class act, who worked hard, and always seemed to be cool. My favorite role of his was as Dutch Engstrom, in the Wild Bunch--a quiet bad guy who had seen it all. Gone at 95, a good,long, productive life.
